Parts Express Adjustable Wire Stripper

First time using this type of stripper. Very impressed! This is now a top-drawer, go-to tool for me.

I've had the pleasure of using the Irwin wire strippers, and I must say, they are nothing short of fantastic. One of the most remarkable aspects of these strippers is the incredible speed at which they can effortlessly strip wires. It's almost like a breeze, especially when working with thicker gauge wires. I found that when dealing with robust wires like 12/2 Romex, the Irwin wire strippers excel, making the job quick and hassle-free. The precision and efficiency with which they handle these larger wires are truly impressive.While these wire strippers shine on thicker gauge wires, they can still manage smaller gauge wires, like 22 gauge or smaller, although it may require a bit more finesse. Although not their primary strength, it's commendable that they can handle the smaller wires as well. After using the Irwin wire strippers, it's hard to imagine going back to traditional wire strippers. Their speed and ease of use set a new standard, making wire-stripping tasks more convenient and efficient, and they've become an invaluable tool in my toolkit. Whether you're a professional electrician or a DIY enthusiast, these wire strippers are an excellent addition to your collection and will undoubtedly save you time and effort on your wiring projects.

Struggles with wires that have wax like coating.

Excelente calidad y funcionalidad, no batallas para pelar los cables.

Works well, no issues.

I was able to successfully strip stranded and solid core wire of various sizes with no problems. I have used strippers like this before and what I was mostly concerned about was loosing strands, especially on small wires. It did not accidentally cut one strand in my tests. I have read that romex with an additional clear cover was problematic, but did not have that to test. There is an adjustment screw for something related to the stripping tension maybe and there are no instructions on that, so right now, that is my only negative.
